The Minnesota have failed to advance past the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2015 -- will this year be any different? Seth Toupal of Locked On Wild joins Gil Martin of Locked On NHL to discuss all things Wild ahead of their post-season run. The biggest story surrounding the franchise coming in is definitely its seven consecutive losses in the post-season's opening round, but there is some belief that this year's Wild might be built different. Red hot goaltender Filip Gustavsson is the biggest reason for optimism after playing like an absolute stud across 39 appearances. But would could eventually be Minnesota's downfall? Who are other key players to watch? And what will an unsuccessful spring mean for Bill Guerin and the Wild going forward? We've got you covered for all you need to know ahead of Minnesota's first-round series with the Dallas Stars.
